CAMBRIDGE, England,
February 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Ubisense Group plc (AIM:UBI), a leader in enterprise location
intelligence solutions, and Airbus, are further expanding the
Ubisense infrastructure in the A350 XWB Final Assembly Line (FAL),
located in Toulouse, as a solution to support digitalization of its
major assembly facilities in Europe.
Connecting industrial objects using RFID and Real-time Location
Systems (RTLS) in the context of Internet of Things and in
conjunction with Big Data are key components of the Airbus
Digitalization strategy to streamline and automate industrial
processes as well as improve real-time awareness along the
Supply-Chain.
In 2011, Airbus deployed the Ubisense enterprise location
intelligence solutions on the A350 XWB FAL to provide real-time
connectivity to industrial objects and consequently greater
visibility of industrial processes and applications, in particular
around industrial tooling and distribution within component
assembly and final assembly factories. And since then, elements of
the Ubisense solution have been re-used across multiple assembly
plants and multiple Airbus aircraft programmes such as the A330,
A350 XWB, A380, and the A400M.
The Ubisense enterprise location intelligence solutions are now
extending the existing real-time visibility solution on the A350
XWB FAL to additional areas of the FAL equipping processes in order
to support the production ramp up. The system provides the
capability to track and locate assets in real-time, automatically
updating the ERP system with asset location and status data to
improve the accuracy and timeliness of reporting as well as more
granular visibility such as motion path analysis which was
previously not possible manually. All relevant data is presented in
geographic and/or schematic views to facilitate daily operation.
Moreover, the system automatically notifies users of asset status
changes and alerts users if certain issues arise.
